The 49ers newest wide receiver, Randy Moss, did a terrific job negotiating a conference call with constant feedback from an ESPN station in Los Angeles. If he can replicate that on the field, the 49ers would be thrilled.

During his brief chat with the media, Moss reiterated his “passion” for the game. He also said he stepped away from football last season for reasons the media “would not understand.” Here are some other highlights of what Moss had to say.

-Harbaugh threw the Moss for 15 minutes during Monday’s workout. Moss was asked to evaluate his arm. “He can still wing it,” Moss said. “He’s probably sitting there with an icepack on his arm right now.”

-About how the 49ers viewed his past troubles, Moss said, “They’ve done their research or they wouldn’t have brought me in here.”

-Moss said his exact role with the team has not yet been discussed and that it would be worked out in training camp.

-Moss said he doesn’t know Alex Smith but that he looks forward to meeting him and the rest of his new teammates.
